Including code and plots
You can embed code as normal, for example:
summary(cars)
## speed dist
## Min. : 4.0 Min. : 2.00
## 1st Qu.:12.0 1st Qu.: 26.00
## Median :15.0 Median : 36.00
## Mean :15.4 Mean : 42.98
## 3rd Qu.:19.0 3rd Qu.: 56.00
## Max. :25.0 Max. :120.00
Let’s clean up the format of that output:
| Speed | Distance |
|---|---|
| Min. : 4.0 | Min. : 2.00 |
| 1st Qu.:12.0 | 1st Qu.: 26.00 |
| Median :15.0 | Median : 36.00 |
| Mean :15.4 | Mean : 42.98 |
| 3rd Qu.:19.0 | 3rd Qu.: 56.00 |
| Max. :25.0 | Max. :120.00 |
In a study from the 1920s, fifty cars were used to see how the speed of the car and the distance taken to stop were related. Speeds ranged between 4 and 25 mph. Distances taken to stop ranged between 2 and 120 feet, with the middle 50% falling between 26 and 56 feet.
You can also embed plots as normal, for example:
Note that the echo = FALSE parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.
